The Red Brick Market officially opened its third branch in Sheffield last Monday on Clough Road.  

The former 99 Jump Street trampoline park has been refurbished into a market hall full of independent artists, creators and shop sellers alike. 

Steve Lindley, owner of The Bindi People and Red Brick Market seller, said: “ We’ve gradually seen the demise of the high street and that’s destroying not only people’s livelihoods but communities as well.” 

The brand focuses on offering an alternative and fresh shopping experience with a dedication to sustainability and ethicality to counteract the growing loss of shopping variety. 

Mr Lindley added: “If we can pass things around amongst ourselves that’s far better than manufacturing new because that creates a lot of pollution so I really try to in my store not to sell new stuff, everything is sort of recycled in one way or another.” 

The indoor market is set to host around 100 independent shops such as handmade clothing, vintage clothing, candles, gothic jewellery, trinkets, art prints, plants and more still to come. 

He said: “ The Red Brick opening just on the edge of town brings a real diverse selection of traders there, their own creative projects and an outlet for them. You get a chance to experience real shopping.” 

The brands currently available in the market include Y.lI, Squadra, Cheri moon vintage, vegan witch and growing. 

The Red Brick market first opened in Liverpool in 2018 and has quickly spread across the north of the UK with branches in Birmingham and now Sheffield. 

The markets doors are now open seven days a week Monday to Friday 10-6pm and Sunday 11-6pm.
